Hi,
has anybody tried this out already? Any feedback?
Looks quite interessting, will buy it in the next couple of days, I guess.
Best regards
johnpatcher
I've got one made by 3M which I bought off Amazon. It is very fiddly to get on and off and line up with the lens. A clamp spring keeps coming out so can't clamp it onto the phone easily. The position of the lens on the Blackstone is such that the clamp presses onto the volume button and the clamp is not secure on the phone as it has to protrude over the top of the phone above the lens. When I tried to take pictures using the zoom to maximum the result was a picture with a part black round circle around it. You could crop the circle out of the picture but then you are left with a small photo.
I've quickly done something with telescope and without attached for you to assess. It takes a long time to get it lined up correctly because the lens it too high on the Blackstone.
Actually it looks like that Brando one may fit better as it does not have clamps like the one I've got. I see it has a separate back that will work much better than the one I have. Will be interested to hear how you go with it if you get one.
Hm, not really amazing results at all . Have you noticed any better results without any zoom, or is this telescope just good for zooming in?

Everything is a blur without zoom so only for zooming really.
Many many thanks for the infos....
You just answered all my unanswered questions about this gamepad...
Oredering it soon.....
what a great bunch of add-ons.
I may consider buying it, so I can turn my HD into a professional camera like the Nikon D900 or a Canon EOS.
lollized!

Ordering it now from Ebay.
Should get it within 2 weeks.
I got me Evo Lte around 11am, and heres what I've noticed so far
The phone is gorgeous. The quality of the materials used feels absolutely amazing in the hand. The weight is simply perfect as well. As a user of both the 4g and 3D, i can say HTC has outdone its previous two evos by miles.
The Lte's buttons are extremely easy to press. It doesnt take much force to make the buttons go down. While the might be viewed as beneficial for some users, others might not like it, as your phone might reboot or dial someone in your pocket.
The kickstand is also superb. I've never used a better kickstand. Although small, you can tell how strong the thing is from the first time you open it. It stands the phone up at 3 different angles. If you have no nails though, you'll probably find yourself having a hard time getting it it open. With a silicone case i found it very difficult to open the kickstand as well, however a tpu case was much less intrusive.
There were some slightly less pleasurable things though:
The kickstand wasnt completely flush with the silver rim on one end. while barely noticeable, it's enough to remind me that this phone is early in HTCs restructuring phase and that i shouldnt expect this phone to be perfect.
When plugging my SD card in, i noticed the same issue as well. Although everything worked properly, the sd card was at the slightest angle from the words "SD Card." Not significant enough to make me not want the phone (read: i love it), but HTC still has come a long ways and should still continue to do so.
The rear cover was also slightly off. Granted this could be from the kickstand, but it exposed some of the internals if i didnt close it with the corner in question first. This in my opinion was definitely not okay. I would be careful with this phone near water.
The rear cover was also very flimsy. It attaches to the red strip on the left and right side, but without anything in the middle. This causes you to be able to push on the plastic and feel it move up and down. Again it made me feel like my phone wasnt as protected as it could be.
Finally to install my screen protector, i took my tpu case off, and along with it comes the rear cover. I am not feeling this rear cover.
All in all, imo the nice things outweigh the bad, but its just something for people to take note of
Initial software for those interested:
HBoot: 1.12.0000

Hardware:
Screen is bright and gorgeous. I usually keep my brightness turned down about 2/3 of the way and it is still pretty bright. Phone is very thin compared with my 3D.
Pretty light but feels more solid than say a SGSII. My kickstand is not quite flush with the case but no biggie to me. Power button is nice and has a good feel to it.
Back cover came off ok but had to give a little force. Not a big fan of the gloss finish on it. Seems like it would scratch very easily. Volume rocker is not part of the back
cover so they are nice and firm compared to the 3D which could feel spongy. Kickstand feels solid even sitting both ways.
Software:
For those asking about Speedtests on 3G, I ran some tests against my Evo 3D. Testing to the same server (Phoenix, AZ)
1st
3D - 53kbps down 101kbps up 1489ms ping
LTE - 540kbps down 741kbps up 332ms ping
2nd
3D - 27kbps down 57kbps up 1455ms ping
LTE - 415kbps down 729kbps up 324ms ping
3rd
3D - 36kbps down 80kbps down 1455ms ping
LTE - 308ms ping 587kbps down 716kbps down
This was a laugher. LTE wins by a landslide. Not fantastic speeds but much, much better than before

Awesome, thanks for the mini review! I'm glad you covered the buttons, because I felt that was something reviewers never really touch up on. I owned the 4G and I loved the way the buttons felt, but going to the Evo 3D I felt the power button took a downgrade (it was WAYYY too easy to press IMO).
Can anyone with the phone confirm if a 64 gig sd cards works.

Thanks for the info! Maybe this thread could be retitled as first impressions?
Looks like I'll be waiting for a while yet to receive mine. In the mean time, is there any chance you can confirm two things for me? Both are simple (gimmick stuff):
1.) If you have the camera as one of your lockscreen icons, does pressing the dedicated shutter/camera hardware button skip the lockscreen and take you to the camera app?
2.) Can you record slow motion video @ 720p? This should be an obvious yes, but all reviews I've seen only had 390p or whatever... just curious. I know older HTC phones could (Rezound, for example).

Thanks. Sprint papers say you should be able to bypass lock screen with camera button-- or perhaps I misread?-- so I thought that was the trick. Thanks for both. Odd that slow motion knocks you down to... what is that, 480p I guess?
Can one of you awesome folks check something for me please? I know that if you press and hold the camera button while the camera app is open, it will start burst shooting a ton of pictures. Is there a way to change or disable this? Might not be necessary with the dedicated camera button, but I like being able to hold that button to AF, then release to snap the picture.

I don't have mine in hand yet. Waiting for the inter-office as it was delivered to the main office and I'm remote.
But the shutter button is a two-stage button. So I would think, that pushing it a little gets you the auto-focus. All the way, takes a pic. Just like a digital camera. Holding takes lots of pics. I would assume that the burst mode can also be turned off.
How's the ear piece volume and clarity. That was a problem with the initial evo. Ear piece volume was way quiet, even at the loudest setting.

I read that you have to hold down the camera button for a little bit to have it skip the lockscreen and go straight to camera. Can you test this?

Yeah, I was mainly referring to the loudness/quality of the ear piece, not speaker phone. I expect the latter to sound so so, but the ear piece should be nice and loud and clear (the galaxy nexus I played with was really loud).
This phone is amazing fellas. You will see why Apple tried to keep it out. Also the vast majority of the reviews don't do it Justice

Even if your phone has a PIN (or password), if you have the camera app as one of your lockscreen shortcuts you can drag that app to open and it will bypass the PIN screen and just use the camera. Leaving the camera app will then prompt for the password.
That's what I read, I dont have a phone in my hands.
Is tha screen size real noticeable bigger over the E3D ?

I've been looking at these, launching in November.
I'm really in 2 minds about them though.
I don't generally buy cases & hate all the flapping about to answer calls etc.
What are you guys thoughts on the smart cover?
I don't usually like these type of flip covers. However, the official flip covers for the Samsung S5 were great. Really good build quality, and a nice feel to them.
It's hard to be able to make a judgement when the case isn't released yet, so I'll be waiting to see some more photos and reviews before shelling out on one of these, as they're hardly a budget offering.
Looking at a couple of videos on YouTube, it looks like these cases will attach with a kind of adhesive? I'm yet to be convinced.
Not a fan.. The flap is always there which is the problem with these in my opinion.
I decided to buy one of these cases.
Let me tell you right now... I hate cases. I've never had a case for a single one of my devices.
However, I was a little annoyed at how scratched the rear of my Xperia Z became.
Been using this case for a few days now & it's great.
It doesn't attach to the case in the normal way, it 'sticks' to a large strip on the inside rear of the case.
I've removed & replaced the phone numerous times & it's had no effect on the stickiness of the strip at all.
There's no side protection to the case so it's not going to give much on the side of impact protection if dropped.
The style window is awesome though.
You can set multiple lock screen widgets to it to flick through when closed. Closing with screen on switches to style window widget for a few seconds & opening unlocks the screen.
Text notifications are shown on the window & incoming calls can be answered by swiping the window without opening. If a call is placed on the phone the case can be closed with caller id & swipe to hang up on the style window.
The case can be folded behind easily & there's access for all buttons & flaps & can also be placed on magnetic charging dock while closed (included with the case is a dock adapter for case width).
Swiping the camera icon on the window or holding the camera hard button down allows to take pictures while showing camera preview on the style window without opening the case.
Playing music is also shown on the style window with track buttons.
The slimness adds next to nothing on phone thickness.
I'm quite impressed with it tbh.
Is that the only official case available to buy? Or is the wireless charging cover for sale now too?
I just bought one of these cases and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Couldn't find one for sale in Canada so I bought from the UK. I had one like this for my LG G2, but it snapped on the back. The quick window is a necessity for me.

It does attach with a large sticky pad.
The phone comes off easily leaving no residue on the back of the phone.
I've removed the phone numerous times & it's had no adverse effect of the stickiness of the pad.

Hi, i have one if these but cant read text messages in the window as you are supposed to be able to do. I can see a notification but have to open the cover to read it.
U did the NFC thing and downloaded and set the theme, the box is ticked in the read notifucation in the security settings.
Did you have to do anything extra to read texts in the window?
Thanks.
I don't see the contents of messages either, just message alert.

Will do.
So I bought this Case from Sony directly in Copper.
It shines a bit so it looks a little gay.
For the rest I can confirm what the others said. It is small so your phone won't get that much thicker.
The smartwindow function is pretty cool.
I wish there would be a magnet to keep it closed and have it more straight on the phone because sometimes you have to press the case a little more on the screen to get the touch responsiveness.
I am very happy with it.
I bought the DK48 Dockingstation too and will add details on how it fits with the case when I got it.

Hi, got a response from Sony, to view messages in the window you have to set hangouts as the default messaging app then use the hangouts widget in the window to view messages.

I too got mine today (quite mad for Sony to have kept us waiting this long - and given the two day delivery, Amazon has clearly got these from elsewhere in the EU so they're probably STILL not on sale in the UK officially yet).
I got mine in copper, to match the phone. Let me just say this - DON'T GET COPPER! It is indeed quite shiny and actually looks quite tacky, but having waited so long I decided to unpack it and set it up, so I guess I'm stuck with it.
If you have the copper phone, I'd say go for black. It will contrast nicely and look a whole lot more professional. This case looks like something you'd get from a market.
As has been said elsewhere, including YouTube video reviews, the cover doesn't sit flat unless it's flat on a desk - and even then it raises up a bit because there's no magnet or sufficient weight in the front cover to hold it down.
I downloaded the app and basically it's just like a lock screen with the usual lock screen widgets. No major problem there, and from the home panel you can also launch the camera in a mini view - but it also takes 4:3 pictures and doesn't let you change modes. I assume it uses the superior auto mode, but it doesn't say if it detects the scene or anything. Frankly, just use the normal camera button if I were you.
It also comes with a new dock insert, which is good. You keep the cover closed when it's docked, unlike the Roxfit flip cover (that also acts as a stand, which this does not because it's glued on the back of the phone) and when it's docked, the cover falls forward a bit - which isn't exactly helping stop it gradually getting looser and looser. And I used a Daydream 'screen saver' on the phone before, to show a clock and weather. It still loads, but as you might have expected - it doesn't resize and is now useless. There's no Xperia Daydream mode so the best thing I've found so far is Timely and using that to show the time/date.
As for the way it's stuck on the back.. I removed my rear film protector as I didn't want that peeling off with the cover - but even now it doesn't feel like a rock solid adhesion. If I dropped this phone, would it realistically hold in the case? I expect not and most likely it will fly off if you did drop it.
Worse still, if I want to take it out of the case then how many times will I be able to re-stick the case to the phone before the glue has all gone? There's no way to change this, so are you supposed to just bin it and buy another one? To me it seems like an insane way to connect to the phone. Why not the usual grips around the edge? To keep it thin? That could come at a huge cost.
Anyway, despite all the negativity I've just pointed out, it's quite nice to have the window showing key info at a glance (and to finally turn the screen on/off by opening the cover) - but you do still need to open the cover to do anything beyond seeing a notification or info on a widget (e.g. BBC News headlines). Given how few are likely to sell, don't expect loads of developers to be queuing up to modify apps to show through the small window either. What you get now is probably what you'll ever get.
That said, if anyone does find any other good apps/widgets that work well with this cover then please do post here. I can't help but feel this case will drop in price fairly quickly.
Edit: Another thing; when a call comes in, you can answer from the window - but with the cover on the proximity sensor obviously can't work. Thus you can't get the screen back on (it had gone off on mine, presumably after the usual timeout) without opening the phone, or using the power button.
I got this case the other day and so far I have mixed feelings. I like how thin the case is but I don't like that there is plastic in the window. I had an LG G2 quick view case on my last phone and the window was empty. This made using the screen with the cover closed a lot easier. Also the window plastic gets very dirty.
Lastly, my biggest complaint is that when you have the front flap open and flipped around to the back it covers the camera. So with this case you can only take full screen pictures with the case hanging open. This may seem minor but I feel like it is these little oversights that make a big difference. I really expected more from a Sony made case.
For the widgets, Zooper Widget shows up in the list so you can use that to make a lot of interesting widgets. Also Media Utilities. I have also found that Plex, Yahoo Weather, podcast addict and hoopla widgets work in the window.
"The first time you use Style Cover Window SCR24, you establish a connection to your Xperia™ Z3 and get the opportunity to download dedicated smart window widgets and apps. This makes it possible for you to decide exactly what happens when you open and close the cover. Customize and enjoy smart window functions the way you want them".
Get the opportunity? Hm...
Where to get it?
I did not discover any widgets and apps on Google Play . Only themes...

Guys just wondering, does your screen turn off when you close the case? I can't find the magnetic sensor on my Z3 dual. Do you still need to pair this case via NFC?

I purchased 2 Motorola keylinks one from Motorola's website and one from a T-Mobile store. I want to share my though about this little device.
Let me start by saying the keylink is much smaller than I imagined it would be. The device itself isn't anything fancy its just a little triangular key fob with a single button and a hole in the back whose function I am not sure of at this time. The fob won't get in your way like the battery pack micro would and I don't even notice that its there.
The Motorola connect app is what is used to find your phone or Keylink should you misplace it. If you lost your phone simply double tap the Keylinks button to have your phone chime in a really annoying "come find me and shut me off" fashion.
Edit: I found out what the tiny hole on the back of the Keylink is. Its a speaker for when you "Ping it" from the app. The button on the back also flashes green to make it easier to find. It should be noted that you hedge to press the button to get out to stop beeping unless there's a set time it beeps for. (I haven't tested it to see how long it beeps for before stopping)
(I blacked out the street names in the screen shots for privacy reasons)
The app won't let me create and OP and post pictures in the same post so here they are:
did you ever use the moto power pack micro prior to this?
i use the power pack micro and it does not get in my way at all. i have push button start in the ride so the keys stay in my backpack, etc.
different strokes i suppose. i picked up the power pack micro for its charging gimmick and the fact that i can attach it to the moto 360s charge base (i carry one around in my backpack) so i have power to charge that little guy when needed.
appreciate you taking time to post on this gadget. you answered the questions i was wanting to know...

Its just too big for me. I tried one out and I didn't like it. I understand everyone has a need, I was just addressing those of us who want something small that can fit easily into your pocket without adding a huge bulge.
I think the micro is good for some but not everyone, I like to have the bare minimum when I carry my keys as you can see, but if I left it in my bad out wouldn't be bad at all, however I prefer it on my keys where I can't lose it.
i purchased a keylink too mainly for the trusted device. Im loving it so far no problems here.
Anyone know if these are water resistant? I drive a motorcycle, sometimes in the rain and through puddles.

The are "splash resistant" just like the Moto X and Nexus 6 so it should be fine. If you look at the image I posted of the box you can see it mentioned on the back.

I like my keys to be minimal as well. I used to have a Ford SUV but I couldn't stand how many issues it had (I bought it new too). I love my KIA, its Android inspired because I can.
Anyway the Keylink is small enough not to notice so I would give it a try. T Mobile was sold out all around where I was, I called 7 stores to find one.

I have an '08 Ford Expedition. I bought these aftermarket flip-keys on eBay from a place close to me in NY and have worked great. I dont think the Keylink will add much heft to this LOL
I never even knew T-Mobile sold the Keylink. I didn't see it on their website, but T-Mo's Accessories website is horribly laid out.

They have it in store you just have to call and see if it's in stock. I love my Keylink and its much easier the way that you have it. I keep my house keys separate from my car keys because I don't like everything on one keyring. The Keylink is less than half the size of your key judging from in the picture. I hope you like it as much as I do. It doesn't do a lot but it does what I need it too and thats start makes it great.

I bet my needs are simpler than yours. I want to keep my phone locked. If I am at work, i dont like the hassle of a lock. but if i walk away to hit the restroom, i wont have a coworker sending out funny messages from my phone

Yeah that's about what I need mine for. I goto school for engineering and if I lose my phone I don't want someone to get into it. I hate putting in a pin or password so this is easier for me.
Thanks to my XDA buddy @Pilz, i ordered this, and FedEx delivered one day early. I am impressed by the build quality, and the Motorola Connect app. I attached a photo of it attached to my car key fob to show size.

It looks so tiny next to your car key. My second one came today too! This is easily the best little device.

That's how I feel, I forget that it's there until I look at my keys.

Ironically my best friend also has the same lanyard for his Ford Expedition. He got it when he took flying lessons.
I received my Keylink today, the build quality is excellent, but I hate the fact you have to use Motorola Connect, keep location settings on, and give them permission to collect data in your phone....

Does it work like intended?
I heard it isn't as good as Samsung ones.
How much did you end up paying?
Is it interactive like Samsung ones?
I got it and it works fine. You can slide left and right to answer or dismiss calls, gives you time, date and weather info otherwise if you press the power button.

Agreed. It works as intended.
Question re the cover I got mine from Amazon UK
On the Amazon pic it looks like clear glass but on my cover the glass is frosted and the display is not clear it's slightly blurred anyone else got this issue
I guess everyone got it slightly blurred but for that few information it provides - I think it's clear enough.

Brilliant was worried either I hadn't removed a cover or mine was faulty

Mine is just a grey plastic, but it is clear enough. Not frosted exactly, just not clear glass
I'm waiting for mine to arrive
Got mine from Amazon Germany for 16 euro. Good quality. Screen on after opening works fine. But a clear window would be better...
I have the case too. that only case that not lift my mofi glass.
I wish they add more things to screen like notification battery presentege
The smart cover is a good idea. Just hasn't been implemented right missing crucial features
I got sick of this cover after 10 seconds due to the case covering the notification light, blurry front view window and AOD switching off after 10 seconds. At first I thought the ambient light sensor being blocked by the case was the problem (the sensor which is an inch to the right of the earphone speaker, which determines whether or not your phone is face down, or in your pocket/bag in order to switch the screen/AOD off to save battery) so I took a knife to the cover to see if that helped. It didn't. Even after cutting a section of the case out and exposing the ambient light sensor it still doesn't keep AOD on. I have attached a photo in the link below of my butchered cover for comedy purposes

Does anyone experience that sometimes when a phone call comes in that the smart cover doesn't activate the smart cover so you have to flip it open to see who is calling
